...Production Chief Dore Schary got the ax last week. Stockholders were dissatisfied because they thought that profits under Schary's eight-year regime had not been high enough (TIME, Nov. 12). What softened the blow for Schary was a $1,000,000-plus settlement to be spread over about ten years. Schary is the fourth Hollywood production boss to go in recent months. The others: 20th Century-Fox's Darryl Zanuck, Paramount's Don Hartman, Columbia's Jerry Wald. Schary's ousting put the movie industry's seal...
...meeting on Feb. 28. If it takes over Loew's, the Lehman-Lazard group would probably keep Vogel in charge of Loew's Theaters division, which he headed until last month, and hire a president who would drastically cut MGM's staff, replace Movie Production Boss Dore Schary, sell off some money-losing Loew's theaters, and possibly consolidate MGM's high-overhead moviemaking facilities with Warner Bros...

But, in the end, since no one else can do it, she unearths a revolver from behind her bed, and, tough as Bronko Nagurski, she appears at the head of the stairs to pump most of her dozen shots into...
Campbell Chibougamau, in production since June 1955, now spews up $1,000,000 worth of ore a month. Four other companies (Copper Cliff Consolidated Mining Corp., New Royran Copper Mines Ltd., Chibougamau Jaculet and Copper Rand) around the rim of Dore Lake are shooting for production next year. The investment already totals $50 million. Dotted over the lonely countryside, some 100 drilling crews are probing the Pre-Cambrian rocks for new deposits or extensions of established finds. Reported Toronto's Northern Miner: "There's no reason to think that the peak of exploration has been reached...
